Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

"Let's go to the Hyuga clan's territory!" Bai Yu gestured for Chiho, Mitsuko, and Taichi to follow him, while simultaneously channeling his chakra to help the Hyuga branch family ninjas remove the Caged Bird Seal.

It would be in my best interest to help Kushina awaken the Tenseigan as soon as possible.

The conflict between Konoha and Orochimaru had little to do with him.

He didn't care about the lives or deaths of Konoha ninjas, except for a very few.

......

arena.

"Fourth Hokage! You've awakened?!" Might Guy was the first to arrive at the battlefield. Seeing Minato Namikaze being besieged by the First and Second Hokage, he was both surprised and delighted, and immediately unleashed his chakra.

The seventh gate of the Eight Gates Formation, the Gate of Shock, opens!

The green energy on Matt Day's body surface rapidly turned blue, a phenomenon caused by the evaporation of sweat due to his intense physical exertion.

"I'll help you!"

Might Guy's early entry into the battle was something Orochimaru hadn't anticipated.

Minato Namikaze blocked Hashirama's punch, but his body was thrown back by the impact.

boom!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Might Guy delivered a powerful whip kick to Hashirama's back, causing Hashirama's entire upper body to explode into fragments resembling scraps of paper, which flew everywhere.

However, these fragments quickly coalesced under the pull of chakra, and Hashirama's body was soon restored to its original state.

"What's going on?!" Might Guy was completely bewildered.

"The Eight Gates?" Orochimaru frowned slightly, glancing at Might Dai who had suddenly appeared. Orochimaru didn't know much about the Eight Gates, a forbidden technique, because strictly speaking, it couldn't be considered as developed by the Second Hokage.

The Second Hokage only proposed the concept of the Eight Gates, but because this concept caused many people to be injured, he listed this technique as a forbidden technique.

The person who actually succeeded in developing the Eight Gates based on this concept was Might Guy.

The Eight Gates Formation truly demonstrated its power at the end of the Third Shinobi World War, when Might Dai faced the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. However, that was mainly due to Hakuba's intervention; otherwise, Might Dai would likely have already perished.

"I wonder what the power of opening all eight gates is?" Orochimaru's eyes shifted slightly.

At this moment, Hashirama, who had recovered his body, abandoned Minato Namikaze and attacked Might Guy.

Because of the sudden attack and Orochimaru's deliberate waiting, Hashirama was not allowed to use his full strength.

This led to Hashirama being kicked to pieces by Might Guy's sudden attack. Now that he's focused, Might Guy, relying solely on the chakra from the Seventh Gate of Shock, is unable to inflict any substantial damage on Hashirama.

However, thanks to Might Guy's arrival, Hashirama was temporarily blocked, and Minato only needed to deal with Tobirama, so the pressure was greatly reduced.

boom!

With his modified Flying Thunder God Technique and Rasengan, Minato Namikaze unleashed a combo attack that blasted Tobirama's body apart, dealing him a substantial blow.

"Minato!?"

"Fourth generation!"

Jiraiya and Nawaki followed closely behind to the battlefield.

"Orochimaru! Do you really want to destroy Konoha?! This place was once your home too!"

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru, who was standing high on the rooftop treetop, and couldn't help but shout.

"Jiraiya, you're still so childish."

Orochimaru responded with a hint of mockery.

"Orochimaru-sensei...why?" Nawaki looked at Orochimaru with a complicated expression.

Despite having been mentally prepared, Nawaki still found it hard to accept the current state of Konoha and the fact that the culprit was none other than his once-respected teacher, Orochimaru.

"Nawaki..." Orochimaru's gaze softened slightly when it fell on Nawaki, but he quickly hardened his heart again: "Even if it's you, if you stand in my way, I won't show any mercy!"

Nawaki was startled and stared at Orochimaru with a cold gaze, somewhat incredulous.

Jiraiya, having been Orochimaru's companion for decades, naturally understood Orochimaru's personality. He quickly stepped in front of Nawaki and said, "Nawaki, go help Dai deal with the First Hokage. I'll take care of Orochimaru."

For Jiraiya, it was better to end it all himself than to let Nawaki and Orochimaru fight each other and turn master and disciple against each other.

"Lord Jiraiya!" Nawaki hesitated. He had failed to stop Orochimaru from leaving Konoha back then, and today he wanted to stop Orochimaru from destroying Konoha.

“Go!” Jiraiya said firmly, “Only your Wood Release can temporarily block the First Hokage’s Wood Release, and Dai needs your help even more.”

Upon hearing this, Nawaki gave Orochimaru a deep look before leaping down into the arena below.

Before landing, he used Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World, summoning a large number of trees to change the battlefield and completely cover the center of the arena.

This completely isolated the audience area, protecting the unconscious Konoha villagers as much as possible.

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya, whose face already bore toad features and who had two old toads perched on his shoulders, and said disdainfully, "Jiraiya, do you really want to die?"

"Even if it costs me my life, I will stop you!" Jiraiya said firmly, his pupils slightly contracting as he caught a glimpse of the Third Hokage fighting Kakashi inside the barrier.

Orochimaru's expression turned cold, and his body shot out like a cannonball.

"So fast!"

Jiraiya was shocked. He never expected that Orochimaru would use taijutsu, which he was least skilled at, to fight him when he entered Sage Mode.

boom--!

With the powerful reflexes of Sage Mode, Jiraiya blocked Orochimaru's sudden punch. However, the immense force transmitted through the fist instantly knocked Jiraiya back. At the same time, Orochimaru closed in and punched Jiraiya in the right chest.

"puff!"

Jiraiya coughed up blood and flew backwards, crashing into the wood-style trunk created by Rope Tree. The force was absorbed by the numerous vines that caught him.

"puff!"

After Jiraiya was caught, he coughed up blood again and instantly became weak. If it weren't for the huge enhancement of his physique by Sage Mode, he might have been killed.

"Little Jiraiya!" Fukasaku and Shima, the two toads on Jiraiya's shoulders, called out worriedly.

"Lord Jiraiya!" Nawaki was shocked. Just moments ago, Jiraiya had been so confident, but he had been seriously injured by Orochimaru's punch. However, he was currently entangled with Hashirama and could not spare any attention. He could only continue to join forces with Might Guy to launch a fierce attack on the First Hokage.

"Jiraiya-sensei!"

Minato Namikaze never expected that Jiraiya, who had transformed into a sage, would almost be killed by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru looked at the heavily injured Jiraiya lying on the ground with a cold gaze. If Jiraiya had used ninjutsu or genjutsu from a distance at the beginning, he could have bought some time. But since he dared to engage in a taijutsu duel, Orochimaru would not be polite.

However, he ultimately held back, because in his memory, Otsutsuki Isshiki was most skilled in close-quarters combat, and if he had unleashed his full power with that punch, Jiraiya would have had almost no chance of survival.

"Watergate!"

At this moment, Fugaku and Itachi finally arrived. They immediately noticed Minato Namikaze, and then saw Jiraiya lying on the ground, heavily injured.

"You two, hurry and help Minato!" Jiraiya, enduring the excruciating pain in his chest, instructed Fukasaku and Shima to help Minato use Sage Mode. Now, only the greatly enhanced Minato could save Konoha.

After saying that, Jiraiya's head lolled to the side and he fainted.

"Little Jiraiya!"

Fukasaku cried out in surprise, realizing that Jiraiya was only unconscious and still breathing, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Shima, who was standing nearby, immediately used the Summoning Jutsu to summon a giant toad that swallowed Jiraiya and sent him to Mount Myōboku for treatment by the Great Toad Sage.

"Watergate!"

Fukasaku and Shima took the opportunity to jump onto Minato's shoulders and help him refine his Sage Chakra.

With the help of the two great sages of Mount Myōboku, Minato Namikaze, who had already received Hashirama's cells, entered Sage Mode in less than a minute, with orange eyeshadow appearing at the corners of his eyes. Moreover, his Sage Mode was almost perfect, with no other obvious changes except that his eyes had turned into horizontal pupils resembling those of a toad.

Minato Namikaze's chakra aura suddenly surged.

"Fugaku! Don't come any closer!" Minato Namikaze stopped Fugaku Uchiha, who was about to come to help, and then looked up at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly; Minato Namikaze's Sage Mode had already posed a significant threat to him.

Furthermore, he sensed that because the sacrifice was much stronger than before, the Hashirama and Tobirama summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation were too powerful, so their resistance became more and more obvious, and they showed signs of losing control. Orochimaru finally took it seriously.

'The Four Symbols Seal!'

'Five Elements Seal!'

'Eight Trigrams Seal!'

With the enhancement of Sage Mode, Minato Namikaze received a comprehensive boost. His sudden burst of speed completely overwhelmed Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique, and he blasted half of Tobirama's body apart with a single punch. Taking advantage of the moment when Tobirama was recovering, Minato used a combination sealing technique to immobilize Tobirama, and then threw out two sealing scrolls, completely sealing Tobirama away.

The next second, Orochimaru appeared in front of Minato Namikaze.

"Kid! Watch out!" Shima the Sage exclaimed, and quickly used ninjutsu to counterattack.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze's figures kept appearing in mid-air, their speed alone approaching the speed of spatial teleportation.

Even with the Sharingan's dynamic vision, it would be difficult to capture the movements of the two.

"Napaki! Please!" On the other side, Might Guy suddenly abandoned his strategy of entanglement and delaying Hashirama, and took the initiative to attack Hashirama.

Eighth, the Gate of Death, the Eight Gates Formation! Open!

As Might Guy charged toward Hashirama, the blue sweat on his body rapidly turned red, and all his chakra flowed into the Gate of Death located at his heart, ultimately reopening the Gate of Death.

boom--!

An incredibly terrifying surge of chakra erupted into the sky.

"Is this what it feels like to have the Gates of Death fully open?" Might Guy felt an incredibly powerful force filling his entire body, and as he clenched his fists, he felt as if he could crush space itself.

At the same time, a faint pain filled his entire body and gradually intensified.

"Father! No!"

Might Guy, who arrived late, couldn't help but shout when he saw Might Dai enveloped in crimson energy.

“Kai! Just you wait!” Might Day gave his son a thumbs-up and flashed his signature smile.

"Father!"

Might Guy fought back his tears, smiled at Might Dai, and gave him a thumbs up.

Might Guy nodded, his gaze turning to Orochimaru, who was battling Minato Namikaze.
